Won't boot into recovery without rom manager - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, so my 7 is working fantastic, except if I reboot into the bootloader, then choose recovery, it just hangs on the Google screen. If I then reboot and choose boot into recovery from rom manager, it works perfectly.
Any ideas? Not the biggest deal, but annoying.
I rooted with the nexus toolkit and have tried various kernels, which didn't change anything.
Thanks!

Same here, expect I manually unlocked and rooted. The only way beyond rom manager for me is with adb or if the rom has a power menu with a recovery option.

Noob question here, but how do you get into recovery from adb. Haven't familiarized myself with adb yet

It's a bug, just use rom manager or reboot recovery from terminal emulator

I prefer cwm touch which you can get from the site. Or you can flash the button version from rommanager
Twrp does work tho, but I've read issues with restoring backups.
Booting into recovery on the device in a way is messed up. The button combo method to enter using the bootloader hangs when not connected to a PC, so there are two options on getting into recovery.
A. Connect to a PC and use bootloader
B. With a working OS, reboot to recovery using an app such as rommanager or goomanager
If you ever flash a rom that won't boot, u need to connect to a PC and boot into recovery via bootloader (button combo).

I use TWRP and had successfully restored now a couple of times. Once was a complete device replacement where I restored the TWRP restore files from my workstation.
How I do my backups to ensure I can restore from a total loss.

Ah, I was curious if this bug still existed or not.
I'd go with CWM, quite stable, easy to use, and you can flash the touch recovery, speeds it up.

Thanks, I read somewhere that if you go into system/ and rename recovery-from-boot.p to recovery-from-boot.bak, fixes the bootloop...can anyone confirm this... thank in advance

Try it. Bootloader issue still exists regardless.

I'm a TWRP guy all the way. I have never had an issue restoring a backup, and the ability to compress my nandroid is invaluable.

TWRP has definitely converted me.

N7 only boots into recovery

Ok so heres the story. Ubuntu released a version of it self for the N7 and I went to try it out. Works ok kinda sluggish, but I digress.
Went back to stock and it went smooth as butter. Now I went to flash CWM and it flashed like it was supposed to. Now for some reason my tablet only boots into recovery no matter what. I tried to press power and vol down to get into the bootloader and it just boots recovery.
I used Nexus Root Toolkit v1.5.4 to flash the image.
It's stuck in cwm?
Can you reach it via adb?
If so enter "adb reboot fastboot"

Tried that and ADB said there was no device attached. So, I reinstalled my drivers and that worked. Managed to get into fast boot and reflashed stock. I manually flashed cwm and that worked no problem. I'm now back on my own version of cm10.

ROOTED 4.2.2 won't boot recovery

Just rooted my N7 on 4.2.2 but can't boot into recovery. I just get the "no command" screen. I flashed twrp with the Nexus Root Toolkit and everything seemed to go fine but I can't boot into recovery. Is there another way to flash a custom recover?
Thanks!

you probably booted, not flashed the recovery. fastboot flash it via fastboot with the instructions above. or, to make it even easier, download the goo manager app. you can flash twrp recovery with the app. open the app, press the settings option, press install openrecoveryscript, press yes, then let it do its thing.

Read the download instructions at the bottom. Have you done that step?
The stock recovery will be restored on boot otherwise. It's the same procedure for any recovery (CWM) not just TWRP.

Why can't I boot into custom recovery?

I'm running CM 10.2 and every time I try and boot into recovery, it boots into stock recovery instead of CWM. I've tried booting into it using the menu when you hold the power button and then I've tried holding power+volume down on restart and every time it just goes stock.
Any help/opinions are much appreciated.

Turn off your device, hold all three buttons until you see a menu pop up. Select Recovery and you should get CWM.

Every time I go into recovery, it sends me to the Android with the exclamation point, then I get to stock recovery. Even with the three button.
Looks like you need to flash your recovery again

Yep, and after flash is complete, power-off your phone and boot straight into recovery. There's an install script that needs to complete. If you don't boot straight into CWM, stock recovery will override CWM.
I didn't do that last time, that must be why I can't get there now. Thanks for the heads up!

Well I ran into the same problem where I just get dead Andy. I flashed TWRP from fastboot but for the life of me can't remember how to boot into recovery from there.
Edit
I literally looked for over an hour about how to get into recovery before I posted. Well I found the answer almost immediately after posting, power/Vol+.
So I flashed my recovery again through fastboot, powered up using power/Vol + but still can't get into recovery.
Are you on stock ROM? You may have to remove or rename the recovery install file install-recovery.sh after flashing TWRP... Located in system>etc on stock

Thanks anyway, but after trying to flash with Flashify and that not working I tried an app called recovery tools that fixed my issue.

You could have just installed Rom Manager & flashed the Photon Q recovery then flashed Philz or the latest twrp they are in my goodies.
Oh... I always fast boot the recovery...

[Q] TWRP & LGG2 & ROMManager

OK, so I have rooted my LGG2 (international, UK, 3 network) and wanted to install a different rom. I followed the instructions to install TWRP and have installed rom manager app. In rom manager I have set current recovery to TWRP and gone to reboot into recovery. This, however, doesn't boot into TWRP. It boots into standard android recovery. Any idea what I have done wrong? Is there perhaps a different TWRP I need? I watched a guy on youtube do it all with ease and it just seems I've had nothing but problems! If I can get TWRP working, I'm sure I can effectively progress further, but at the moment I'm tempted to just unroot it and regain some of the apps I'm not allowed to use, due to the problems I have faced
Any help is greatly appreciated
How did you install recovery, autorec?
If so you're good to go just hit power button x3 through that screen as if you're going to factory reset. It takes you to recovery.

not 100%
I can't exactly remmebr I've done it all in drips and drabs. I think I flashed it with usb. But don't recall. I haven't heard of autorec. But when I use ROm manager, it tells me I have twrp installed. But I select it as the recovery in rom maanger, reset my phone and it goes to the standard android recovery not twrp. And press power x3 when? i just tried in android recovery and it just rebooted the device. I tried while booting and nothing...
Are you on kitkat? I'm sure 3 got ota already.
I'll get link for autorec. Its easy to set up, just install and run.
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Free mobile app
yeah
thats right im on kitkat. I'll check out that autorec if you think it will help, perhaps twrp wasnt installed properly and thats the issue? When I use twrp manager for play store, it tells me "something went worng, seems we can't get information for your device" after i select g2d802. Worth a shot at autorec
